Erik Lamela’s agent is believed to be in Rome today, with Inter and Lazio reported as in contention for a loan deal.

The Argentine has endured a difficult six months in England since a summer move from Roma to Tottenham and has been increasingly linked with a loan move away this January.

The Gazzettadello Sport today suggest that such a possibility is increased with their belief that the player’s agent Pablo Sabbag is arriving in the Italian capital for negotiations with interested parties.

Inter are seen to hold the advantage in early rounds of talks that are described as ‘not easy’.

Lazio, meanwhile, are also seen as trying to enter into consideration for the 21-year-old with a late move themselves.
